Yes, I already saw your work, good stuff, and Woof already has a fix for that problem.

Posted on 22 May 2012, 19:21 by BarryKGlib schemasI fixed a problem with Glib schemas. SeaMonkey crashes and pemasu identified the cause of the problem: a file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/apps.gecko-mediaplayer.preferences is required. Not just that, but the schemas must also be compiled:

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Pemasu had created a PET to fix this. I added some DEBs that had most of the files, but was missing 'apps.gecko-mediaplayer.preferences' which apparently is supposed to be in the gnome-mplayer package, but it isn't.

I created a little PET just with 'apps.gecko-mediaplayer.preferences' in it.

3builddistro now chroots into rootfs-complete and runs 'glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas'.

...I don't know if we will ever need to rerun that at a version upgrade of a save-file, or new package installed in a running Pup.

This problem has come up before. The cause is the GRUB options are wrong. You don't get this problem if you use the Universal Installer. Perhaps there are instructions elsewhere that are giving wrong information.

You have "root=/dev/sda9" or wherever you have installed pup to, and you do not have "initrd /initrd.gz", you do not have the "initrd" option at all. There is no initrd.gz used for full install. A typical grub entry:

Earlier on, I asked pemasu if he would like to coordinate the next Upup, based on Precise Pangolin, as I like the work that he has done and he is familiar with Woof. He also has good coordinator abilities I think.

In the last several page, there was a lot of stuff about brcm and wl drivers, that I have ignored. I don't have those drivers in the 3.2.x kernel, though I think that I read at least one of them can be compiled for that kernel.

I think they are still sorting out some issues with them.

Anyway, I have got to a point where I can do an alpha3 build. Just need to do a few more things...

Posted on 3 Jun 2012, 15:26 by mavrothaxorg dev in Precise b1The devx in Beta1 is still missing files needed to compile video drivers.
xorg_devx_7.6 from Ubuntu main repo also istalls
libdmx1_1.1.1-1|libdmx1|1.1.1-1|
libdmx1_1.1.1-1|libdmx-dev|1.1.1-1|
libfs6_1.0.3-1|libfs6|1.0.3-1|
libfs-dev_1.0.3-1|libfs-dev|1.0.3-1|
libxvmc-dev_1.0.6|libxvmc-dev|1.0.6|
And then it works fine.
I guess the problem is that dibdmx_dev is named also libdmx1_1.1.1-1 as the library package
Maybe an issue in thedatabase conversion?
